Abstract

In the disclosed camera exposure control device, a first control automatically controls the camera exposure on the basis of a signal generated by a first brightness sensor. A second control automatically controls an exposure on the basis of a manual setting that responds to a second brightness sensor. A mode selector enables either an electromagnetic actuator that operates the first exposure control or a mechanical actuator that operates the second control.
